John DalyThis is S. She is fricking awesome. She is the illest. She is beautiful. She is the holy grail. She is uncut dope. She is bigger than the Beatles, Jesus, wrestling and breast implants combined. She is every breath I take, every move I make and every fluffy pan. She is my saving grace. She is my life. She is my supergalactic lover undercover. She is like drinking a bottle of nyquil right before sky diving into a marshmallow cloud. But different. She's just like heaven. She's hotter than July. She's better than Ezra? Um. Yeah. She's the greatest thing since sliced pastrami, and if you know anything about me, that's pretty f'in great. I love her.

She even lets me have a mistress. Her name is music.
ATTN: Musicians and other Artists-- I'm in the process of writing one of the greatest music book s of all time. I'm still looking for contributors. I want you. You can tell me what your favorite albums are of all time. Artists, movies, books, breakfast cereals, colors, etc. Whatever you want. Really. Be a part of something special. I'm going to help make music something special again. Let me rephrase that. I'm going to make GOOD music special again. Of course it's always been special, and it always will be, but I feel it is my duty to help remind people that it still exists, even though you don't always hear it on your radio. If you're a musician, or a comedian, or any kind of performance or visual artist, or you're just a regular person and you consider yourself to be a music connoissuer, and you want to preserve the legacy of excellent music, please contact me. We've got to get it going before time runs out.
I am also a singer, and I write songs . I am starting a band. You're invited, but only if you want to matter. I want to have fun, too, but it's really important for me to not work a 9-5 job for the rest of my life, so we've got to make it. If you're not ready for world domination, don't apply. I was born in Hawai'i. Yes, it's pretty cool growing up there, but it gets extremely boring when you can't drive anywhere except around the island. And boring in the sense of how every place is boring after you've lived there for 20 years. No I don't like pineapples. I mean I like them, but not any more than the average pineapple lover, and I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with being from Hawaii. And don't call a ham and pineapple pizza "Hawaiian". It's ignorant. And teriyaki sauce doesn't make something "Hawaiian" either. Teriyaki sauce is Japanese, for fucks sake.I ALSO WRITE SOME STUFF FOR THIS WEBSITE. CHECK IT OUT IF YOU HAVE TIME:

People who just wanna talk about stuff without any preconceived notions. Maybe just to like have a motherfucking conversation. What a concept. If you're reading anything on my profile that makes you think I'm the bees knees, or the cats meow, or the flamingos Kangol hat (???), then I want to meet you. Thank you.
